Abstract

In this study we evaluate the uranium and radon concentrations in groundwater from the Province of Safi. The samples were collected from 58 wells across five communes and analyzed using the LR-115 type II detector. Results indicate that uranium concentrations ranged from the Limit of Detection (LLD) to 3.73 µg/l, with a mean of 0.72 µg/l, well below the World Health Organization's safe limit of 30 µg/l. Radon levels varied from LLD to 2.39 Bq/l, with an average of 0.60 Bq/l, also below the United States Environmental Protection Agency's limit of 11 Bq/l. The estimated total annual effective dose due to uranium and radon ranged from 3.47 to 18.84 µSv/y, with an average of 7.54 µSv/y, which is significantly lower than the European Commission's recommended limit of 100 µSv/y. This investigation represents the first study of uranium and radon levels in groundwater in the Province of Safi, providing valuable data for future research and public health.

摩洛哥萨菲省地下水铀和氡暴露剂量评估。

在这项研究中，我们对萨菲省地下水中的铀和氡浓度进行了评估。样本从五个乡镇的 58 口井中采集，并使用 LR-115 II 型检测器进行分析。结果表明，铀浓度从检测限（LLD）到 3.73 微克/升不等，平均值为 0.72 微克/升，远低于世界卫生组织规定的 30 微克/升的安全限值。氡含量从 LLD 到 2.39 Bq/l，平均为 0.60 Bq/l，也低于美国环境保护局规定的 11 Bq/l。据估计，铀和氡的年总有效剂量为 3.47 至 18.84 µSv/年，平均为 7.54 µSv/年，大大低于欧盟委员会建议的 100 µSv/年的限值。这项调查是对萨菲省地下水中铀和氡含量的首次研究，为今后的研究和公众健康提供了宝贵的数据。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
